MAIA by RALPH WALDO EMERSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: ILLUSION WORKS IMPENETRABLE
Last Line: BY MAN WHO THIRSTS TO BE DECEIVED.
Subject(s): HALLUCINATIONS & ILLUSIONS; REALITY;
Illusion works impenetrable,
Weaving webs innumerable,
Her gay pictures never fail,
Crowds each on other, veil on veil,
A charmer who will be believed
By Man who thirsts to be deceived.
